COMPREHENSIVE FRACTURE CARE
Doctor Thomas I Fodor, M.D. is an experimented trauma surgeon (chief orthopedic resident at a trauma Level I center in NYC), specialized in ORIF (open reduction and internal fixation of all long bones fractures (humerus, ulnae, radius, femur tibia, fibula) as well as clavicular fractures. Complex fractures of the shoulder, distal radius (wrist), hip, knee, ankle and foot are also part of his speciality.
PRESERVATION JOINT SURGERY and TOTAL JOINT SURGERY
Before any total joint replacement surgery, one should consider joint preservation surgery by means of realignment/osteotomy of the affected joint, thus enabling prolonged survival of that articulation, and avoiding an irreversible total joint implant which by definition will have a limited lifespan.
These open or closed wedge osteotomies can be mostly performed around the proximal humerus, knee and hip, as well around the ankle and calcaneum.
Finally if any joint preservation surgery is unwarranted, total joint arthroplasty with minimal invasive approach of the shoulder, hip and knee will be performed by Doctor Thomas I Fodor, M.D.
